New YORK. Oct. 7.-lSpecial Telegram to
the BEE. E.I--STocKs-After short frmness
early in the day stocks began to decline, and
II was for the most part break after break
until i:st at the close few of them rallied
sufficiently to prevent closing at the lowest
point of the day. The decline on the general
list was lQslH per cent, although few pulled
through with reduction OF only %@&.
The market opened strong, with advances
extending to u per cent with Western
Union leading and the temper of the room
bullish, though the short-waisted commenced
taking In their profits. The European de-
mand was good, buying orders coming from
both London and the continent. The market
did not hold up. however, and before noon
there had been pretty general slump all
thicugh the list The bears were assisted in
their rad by the large traders. The terms of
the Baltimore Il Ohio telegraph sale to the
Western Union are 10000 shares of Western
Union stock, payment of 100000 rentals,
rights-of-way, operating expenses and taxes
for all business transactions along the line Of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad. The Western
Union does not pay dollar for sentiment
ana every cent counts. The Western Union
has also made cOntrac, with the Baltimore
4 Ohio railroad for fifty years. An advance

sage on business on land lines is equal to
$4,000 900 addition to the net income per an
aum, A 40-cent rate on cable rates will re-
turn large profit instead of yearly loss of
100000, AS has been the case for the past two
years. The completion of the telegraph deal
was hailed with great glee by the bulls last
night and numerous bull dispatches were sent
over the country predicting better market
The market opened strong, room traders were
bullish and the advances extended to u per
cent Western Union, as the bull card,
showed the most advance. 1t was not long,
however. before the bear party, consisting Of
Cammack, Bateman. Jones, Wheeler, Kirk
ner and others began selling all the active
stocks. The tlnid bulls became badly scared
and began selling rapidly, and the whole sit

The receipts OF cattle were more than
double what they were yesterday, forty-One
loads yesterday. Good corn-fed cattle were
In fair demand at about steady prices. One
bunch Of very prime cattle brought more
than anything IN several weeks but they
here in a long time. Western range cattle
that are not fat enough for the packers, are
slow at about steady prices. There was some
inquiry for feeders but the number sold was

Hogs.

There was slight falling Off in the receipts
of hogs, the receipts being twenty-seven
loads to-day as against thirty.One yesterday.
The market opened with light otferin IS,
there being only eighteen loads in at the
opening. The light offerings stimulated
prices somewhat and the earlier sales were
made at little stronger prices than yester-
day. Three loads reached S4.20. About the
middle of the forenoon another train arrived
with nine loads of hogs The late arrivals
did not bring quite as strong prices as the
early morning sales and the market closed
little easier. Everything was sold.

Miss Susan Walker, one of the
grandest Of American women, died
last week in Washington. The direct
cause of her death is given as grief
over the Kebler defalcation in Gin
cinnati, by which her entire fortune
was squandered. She was strong
minded woman, and an expert
mathematician. She was the intimate
friend Of Wade, Calfar. Sumner, and
other famous Republicans, and
Salmon P. Chase is said to have thrice
offered her his hand in marriage.
